 ## Overview
 
-PostgresKit is a PostgreSQL client library built on [SQLKit](https://github.com/vapor/sql-kit). It supports building and serializing Postgres-dialect SQL queries. PostgresKit uses [PostgresNIO](https://github.com/vapor/postgres-nio) to connect and communicate with the database server asynchronously. [AsyncKit](https://github.com/vapor/async-kit) is used to provide connection pooling.

 This package provides the "foundational" level of support for using [Fluent] with PostgreSQL by implementing the requirements of an [SQLKit] driver. It is responsible for:
 
 - Managing the underlying PostgreSQL library ([PostgresNIO]),
-- Providing a two-way bridge between PostgresNIO and SQLKit's generic data and metadata formats,
-- Presenting an interface for establishing, managing, and interacting with database connections.

 ## Version Support
 
 This package uses [PostgresNIO] for all underlying database interactions. It is compatible with all versions of PostgreSQL and all platforms supported by that package.
 
-> Important: There is one exception to the above at the time of this writing: This package requires Swift 5.7 or newer, whereas PostgresNIO continues to support Swift 5.6.
